Help with Word Processors

Whether you use a template or type your resume from "scratch", you will need to use a word processor.

• If you are in a Beauregard Parish Library Lab, your word processor is Open Office. Open Office and Microsoft Office work much alike.
  
  
• If you are using your own computer, you may have another word processor. If you need a word processor, Open Office works on Windows, Linux and Mac computers. It is available free from http://openoffice.org
  
  
• http://gcflearnfree.org offers free tutorials if you need help with the Open Office, Microsoft Word, or Microsoft Office Word Processors. Log on or create a new free account. Select "Computer" and then select the course of your choice.
